Shoes & Gear / Re: Spitfire formula four
« Last post by Frank and Fred on Today at 03:59:59 PM »I've gone from classics to lock in fulls and while it certainly affects the way your board flips, I don't think a change in wheel shape (and not size) should make your flip tricks disappear.
I thought the same but it certainly fucks with me. When I go back to more rounded wheels Radials/ Classics my flips tricks come back. But I suck...

USELESS WOODEN TOY BANTER / Re: David Gonzalez #gonzvibes Thread
« Last post by toe_knee on Today at 03:59:44 PM »Can any pals that held onto their hair for way too long explain the emotions that arise when you finally let it go?
Got you, had a great head of hair up until my son was born, the stress of that and my first relationship falling apart def lead to some early baldness, I first went with the close cut for a year or so and have since been bic’ing it going on about 6 years now, it was the most liberating feeling ever, I’ll never look back

Could it be Turk?Expand QuoteI was at a park in Colorado Springs and a kid casually strolls up with a rifle on him and asks me for a cig. I don’t smoke and told him that and got the fuck out of there. Keep your bullshit out of the park there’s kids there. Plus I was just getting warmed up and it was going to be a good session. One of the ledges there had rebar for the grind surface and it gave nice sounds when skating it. Dude was all dressed up in army gear too.
Side note what were those blue trucks in the vid???[close][close]
close, it was TORK TRUX[close]
Maybe still does?
He had Svitak on those things for a minute as well, thanks, no doubt, to their association through street plant scrapebloards.
Funny looking things, those Tork trux are.

MUSIC / Re: Post your own music...
« Last post by tony volume on Today at 03:58:06 PM »My latest album, and I just got on another Container Ship so I will be making some new music on here.
The Album is named the way it is because of a news story that was talking about Truth Social having terrible Advertising selling “Antiwoke Sleeping Pills” and then I added Cyanide in Japanese (a chunk of my songs were made between Yokohama, Naha, and heading to Busan, South Korea)

PHOTOS/VIDEO / Re: “Doomed From the Jump” Last Resort AB video
« Last post by thehogsniper on Today at 03:55:31 PM »Put your tinfoil hats on for this one: Last Resort AB is secretly Converse/Nike. Or at least funded by them.I still have my Air Trainer 1's. I got rid of the Jack Purcell collab that they did. Did Nike/Converse fumble their deal with Polar? I always wonder.
Think about it man, Alv, Rios, Stenström, Brady, Grund, Decker, Loreth has worn Nikes in the past, they're practically shoving it in our faces.

Shoes & Gear / Re: Slappy trucks (Mike Sinclair's new brand)
« Last post by toe_knee on Today at 03:53:50 PM »Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteDamnit I feel the needle moving…. I’m gonna end up with some slappy lows, hopefully with some 52s I won’t wheelbite too crazy[close]
Is that the ideal slappy (trick not truck) wheel size?[close]
lol I don’t really do slappys…. I learned them frontside and that’s about it, I skate a lot of flat, ledges and manny pads, haven’t really felt the itch to spend an afternoon in a parking lot with a curb, but tastes change and it does seem like fun, I prefer low trucks, have been on ace lows with hard bushings, the metal is softer and I’m not a fan of the way they grind, it’s always a chore to push something further, and everyone says that these are made with a harder metal and they grind better also I’ve always wanted a pair of ikp trucks so these may finally push me over to the dark side[close]
It's a long wait until the slappy lows fall release tho. =(
As for 52s...man, I don't know maybe with some harder bushings or if you ride super tight. Sub 50mm trucks usually need equivilent or smaller sized wheels. The ACE lows with hard bushings and 50mm wheels were on point for that style of setup tho....just always felt I was defeating the purpose of getting ACEs at that point...weird that ACE low, Slappy low, Forged Mindy...ML...all similar style trucks provide the lowest options yet they're the turniest trucks but Venture lo are becoming extinct and only 147s are in the 'low' space.
Yea it’s a bad time to be a low rider
